Flor ida, wintertime haven of the wealthy, boasts an Industry norm ally attributed to the far north In a fur trade that brings revenue to hundieds of trappers in this sec tion. Kiorlda furs raccoon, opossum, liohrat. skunk and fox are to be found In many New York markets. Of lesser value than the skins of the same animals tuken In the north because of short hair, Flor ida pelts are converted Into cheap er claBa fur pieces and coats for women of moderate means. Arcadia, a south Koridn center of focal point for cattlemen, la the chief trading post of the fur and hide industry in the section. Here is provided an outlet or the fur catches of the geminolea in the deep Everglades as well for those of white trappers and hunt era. Fur buyers with headquarter here estimate the annual Income of the trappers who market skins and pelts for 50 cents to ' ?1 each Lt nearly M5.000. Alligator skins, for many years the mark of the traveler who car ried smart luggage. made np a large part of the trade in pelts. The potential bags and overnlgltt cases provide but a small return for the trapper. Good skins gen erally bring about $3, villi no greater price to the. seller for a 15 foot skin than (or one seven feet In length. A POOR JOB Brown: I'm a self-made man.

Treat-! ury officials are confronted with many difficult problems, but one that never hat been solved is just how much ease is given the trou bled consciences of tnousaads of contributors to the conscience fund, whicb now aggregates 56, S04.61. Back In isji when Albert Gal latin of Pennsylvania was fourth secretary, serving the longest term any secretary has- had as financial head of the government, a person whose name was never divulged sent 2b0 to the treasury to pay for some wrong done the govern ment. Whether It was for failure to pay taxes, for theft or for some- thlnar else never was learned, but the money was put In a fund, I marked as having come from uu I identified persons. I Since then thousands of con- I trlbutors of a similar nature bave I been received. ' Donort Not Revealed - Oeneralty contributions are ac companied by unsigned statements to the effect that it Is (or payment for defrauding the government or for oversight in falling to make proucr payment. Occasionally, however, Ihe anonymous writer will admit lt is for a minor theft. A New Yorker sent $500 to the treasury and to make certain that i It would reach the proper fund ne took five $100 bills and cut them exactly in the center, sending one half of each to Secretary Mellon and the other half to the collector of Internal revenue. Neither half could have been redeemed by the treasury without the other half as the treasury requires two-thirds of a mutilated bill for redemption.
